Critical Path Games Founded by Phoenix Labs Veterans

Veterans of Phoenix Labs, Jeanne-Marie Owens and Jesse Houston, have established Critical Path Games, a studio based in Vancouver, with the aim of pioneering a novel video game genre. Owens brings a wealth of experience, including a nine-year tenure at Phoenix Labs where she held the position of chief operating officer, as well as a three-year stint at EA as a production coordinator. Houston, co-founder and former CEO of Phoenix Labs, boasts an impressive background, having worked at Riot Games as a senior producer and senior product manager. According to Houston, "After collaborating for over 15 years, we felt an overwhelming desire to leverage our knowledge and tackle a fresh set of challenges upon leaving Phoenix Labs. "We realized that our most productive and inspired periods were during the early days of Phoenix Labs, when we were a small, co-located team addressing the complexities of cross-platform play and developing games for underrepresented audiences."
